Summary: The Holy Grail of movie making(pun intended)
Review: This is an exceptionally great movie(the best movie of all time in my opinion). This movie was hilarious. The laughs were relentless, they never stopped. I am an enormous fan of the Pythons, but you don't need to have even heard of them to enjoy this movie(or any of thier other work for that matter). The bottom line is see this movie. Many, many, many times.

The best movie from the best comedy troup in the world.

And that leaves only one question: What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will qoute from the script for years to come.
Review: Monty Python lays out wit and whimsy that you will try to mimic for the rest of your life. Good (but not so bright) King Arthur leads the legendary quest for the holy grail, encountering numerous tests of courage and honor. Most 'classic' films have a single defining scene. The Holy Grail has, The Plague Era Sanitation Worker Scene, The Witch Judgement Scene, The Wedding Scene, The Arthur vs. The Stubborn Knight Scene, The Crossing The Bridge of Death Scene, The Sir Robin And His Minstrel Scene, the epic Battle At The Mouth Of The Cave Of Eternal Peril Scene, and many others. This is surely among the funniest movies ever made.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the funniest movies I have seen.
Review: When I first saw this movie, I had no idea who or what Monty Python was. After I laughed myself silly{and I mean silly,} I wanted to know more about them. Now I'am one of their biggest fans. If you don't like comedy or laughter, see this movie anyway. I highly reccomend it. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unbelievable, Stupendous, AMAZING!!!
Review: This is easily the best movie ever made, and it only gets better the more times you watch it. That's when you start to notice the little things, like the actors who play anywhere from 10-20 characters each, or, my personal favorite, the intricacies of the black knight sequence (THE BLACK KNIGHT IS INVINCIBLE!!!!!!!) But dont just take my word for it, go buy it....

go on!

What are you waiting for? END

Summary: Spitze
Review: This movie is great. If you have not seen it, you shoud. The HOLY HAND GRENADE OF SAINT ANTIOCH is one of the best scenes. If you haven't seen it you should. You don't know what you are missing if you don't. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ni!
Review: From the French Taunters to the coconut-clapping Patsy, to the wonderful performances put on by all of the magnificently talented Python boys, you will finish the movie wanting to gallop around the block screaming 'Bring out yer dead!' and making witch accusations. A strange movie that you will love from start to finish. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delirious Madcap Adventure!
Review: If you're a fan of the Monty Python Show, this is one movie you must not miss. Sociopathic, insane, oddball humor surround it's adventure plot. Hoo boy, you have to watch it to understand...this movie left me devestated in laughter, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys movies that lacks sanity.

Nee! END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever!!!
Review: This movie rules. It has humor, love, suspense, and an all around weird moose. (minus the love). You will love this movie weather you are a Monty Python fan or not and if you are and you don't own this you should be ashamed of yourself. So bye this today. Includes :Eric Idle, John Cleese, (The Late) Graham Chapman , Micheal Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and a few minor British actors. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Want It, So Get It !!!
Review: Yes, you've seen it a hundred times on TV...but not at home on dvd. Watching the killer rabbit scene in slow motion is worth the price of the set alone! This is one of the greatest comedy films ever. You owe it to yourself and family to add "The Grail" to the home dvd collection. So add to cart and prepare to laugh out loud for the 101st, 102nd, 103rd time etc, etc. Don't let a few measely $$$$ stand in your way!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funniest movie ever
Review: It is well-known that the Pythons themselves believe "Life of Brian" is their best movie. In terms of production value, it probably is, but it's not nearly as funny as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Made on a shoestring budget and played absolutely straight by the troupe, it is hilarious and intellegent at the same time, as well as being charmingly rustic (due to the low budget).

The late Graham Chapman plays Arthur, and is perfect in the role. He is always dignified and noble, even while taking insults from ludicrously-accented Frenchmen. All the other Pythons have multiple speaking parts - a special highlight for me is Terry Jones as the whining prince. The Pythons are at their pseudo-intellectual best in this, their first feature film. My favourite part is Arthur's argument with the peasants making up the anarcho-syndicalist commune ("You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"), followed closely by the opening scene of the film, where it's revealed that Arthur is not riding a horse but has a servant following him making horse-noises with a coconut ("Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?").

The DVD is packed with nifty extras. There are two making-of features, one made while the film was in production (by the BBC) the other made just recently. The latter features Terry Jones and Michael Palin travelling through the country reminiscing and visiting the old locations (don't worry - it's better than it sounds!). Most importantly, the DVD looks fantastic, and the sound is good as well, and if you're still trying to figure out what the characters are saying, you have several subtitle-caption options. There are numerous other extras, including a version of the song "Knights of the Round Table" with animated Lego figures - hilarious!

For Monty Python fans, this DVD is an absolute must, and I recommend it most highly to everyone else!
